It is perhaps inevitable that our quarterly roundup of books about books is heavy on heavy books, i.e. oversized, coffee-table tomes, the kind you might give or wish to receive as a holiday gift.

For many people summer brings at least a short break from the workaday world, time to be spent chipping away at personal projects and hobbies or simply reading a great (bookish) novel.
Literary forgers have plied their trade as long as there's been something worth copying, "creating" purely for financial reasons or simply being able to get away with it.
One of several thoughts that occurred to me while reading the immensely enjoyable new book Ungovernable:

What used to be a biannual accounting of newly published books about books has become quarterly, it seems, which is good news for bibliophiles.
From time to time, we corral the latest books about books of interest to our reader
